I went with the halved design and kept the metallics, reds, browns and parchments the same as my other Empire guys.
Also added a bit more orange into the feather which I used in the Witch Hunter model and liked the effect - ties it into the red well.
The dead Orc is painted in usual greens from the GW tutorial. The only change being the bottom lip which includes Bugman's Glow in with Waagh Flesh. Then with some Screaming Skull added on for a highlight. All blood effects were done with a base coat of Khorne Red and the added Blood for the Blood God, with some more careful spray/streaking effects.
A lovely addition to your army, a real after action/satisfaction kind of pose. The blood looks great, really thick and gluggy (is that a word?). The cloth is particularly nice, quite a subtle stain from what I can see on the front. One suggestion - maybe do a bit of white highlight to the top of the feathers to tie them into the cleaning cloth and bandage/cloth around his knee. I feel the yellow is a bit strong. Just a thought.
